Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.
Every energy sales role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.
Exceptional talent from Latin America, the Philippines, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Canada, from $12/hr. One monthly fee, all-inclusive: sourcing, vetting, payroll, compliance, and ongoing support.
Explore global staffing →Full-time professionals across the United States, employed directly by you. One placement fee: from 12.5% of first-year salary, with the $995 retainer credited against it. Prefer nothing upfront? From 15%, paid only when you hire. Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of salary for the same search.

When proposals take a week
Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.
- Proposals take a week to produce.
- Consultants build layouts instead of selling.
- Appointments are filled, not qualified.
- State incentives are applied inconsistently.
- The customer decided before your quote arrived.
- Design capacity caps how much you can sell.

Beyond energy origination
One desk inside sales. If permits rather than proposals are the delay, legal owns them.

Administrative Support staffing, answered
Which origination seat should we hire first?
Usually the Proposal and Design Specialist, because proposal turnaround decides whether you are still in the comparison at all. Once design capacity exists, the Solar Appointment Setter is the common second hire so consultants stop qualifying their own leads. We will ask what your turnaround is today before recommending.
Can energy sales support work remotely?
The design and proposal half can. System layouts, incentive research, financing paperwork and appointment qualification all happen in software and on the phone, so they staff globally. Site surveys and the in-person close stay with US direct hires on your payroll. Most originators run design globally and keep consultants local.
How quickly can we add proposal capacity?
Shortlist in 10 calendar days from the discovery call, onboarding in 21 days. Both sourcing and 5-Stage Vetting run inside that window. If your proposals currently take a week, a dedicated design seat usually shows up in win rate before it shows up in headcount cost.
Will these hires use our design and proposal tools?
Yes. Specialists work in the design software and proposal templates you already use, against your pricing and the incentive rules for each state you sell in. Tool fluency is tested during vetting, so someone presented for a design seat has produced a layout in an exercise rather than described the software.
Can we scale origination support seasonally?
Yes. Fully managed global seats run month to month, so design and setting capacity can follow your selling season without severance exposure, and US direct hires stay permanent employees on your payroll. Most originators keep one design seat year round and add a second through the peak.
What does a proposal specialist cost?
Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month, which is where design and proposal production belong. Licensed sales activity stays domestic. US Direct Hire is $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront. Compare it to the proposals you currently lose on turnaround alone.
Can they produce a system design without visiting the site?
From a survey, yes, and that is how most originators already work. The survey needs someone on site; turning it into a layout and a priced proposal is software work. Splitting those two steps is what gets a proposal out in days instead of a week.
Do they need to know state incentive rules?
They need to apply them correctly, which is a research and checking discipline rather than prior knowledge. Rules change often enough that even experienced staff look them up. We screen for whether someone verifies rather than assumes, because an incentive applied wrongly costs you the deal twice.
